EDITORIAL 



The editor's summer on the coast of Washington and in the 

 Yukon country was one full of pleasure. He escaped the heat of 

 the interior in the east if he was not always warm enough for 

 comfort. The most notable things about the summer were the 

 extreme lateness of the season on the coast of Washington, and 

 the paucity of birds in the Yukon valley. An account of the sum- 

 mer experiences will appear in a later number. 



The treasurer wishes to call the attention of members who are 

 in arrears for membership dues to the cost of sending out notices. 

 In the aggregate the cost is so considerable that it is well worth 

 calling attention to. Please attend to this matter and thus save 

 money for the betterment of the magazine.
